smedly Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 here we go again and again and again - blame someone/something other than the person that actually is to blame....in this case the driver Do Thais ever ever take responsibility for their actions.............ever ?

ClutchClark Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The Wet Road excuse. Nothing uniquely Thai about that one...its used the world over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) The other predictable response at 02:30: I only had 2 beers. As ClutchClark indicated, used the world over... Certainly not unique to Thailand. Edited August 2, 2016 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Well it makes a change from" Brakes failed", the usual excuse when a Thai crashes a car or a bus,never their fault, they have never been taught how to drive properly and within limits of the conditions. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psimbo Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Interesting- I was driving in very heavy rain the other day and managed to survive. Why- because I SLOWED DOWN in accordance with the conditions. Somchai continued to overtake though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borisloosebrain Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 If he's such an incompetent driver..... then a minor head injury may do him some good. If the roads wet you drive safely you idiot ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arithai12 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Frankly, I don't think it's so much the driver's fault. More, of those who gave him a driver's licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
